My current work investigates the land and our relationship to it. With ideas of ancestry, natural resources, dominance, companionship and stewardship, I create POV sculptural experiences of the land. The land and our relationship to it cannot escape colonial pasts and capitalism. The land represents the roots of all the layers of complexity in our human experience. I work primarily in sculpture and drawing using materials that connect us back to the land, cardboard, paper mache, wood and paper.
